That is a tough question to simply say "yes" or "no" to. But, states have the administrative rights to attach any and all assets, including tax refunds, bank accounts, retirement accounts, and other assets. Even if you have a court approved order to pay off your past amounts most states keep that right to enforce. No one will tell you that if you enter into a court approved agreement to pay off the arrearages, and you typically find out when your bank account or tax refund is intercepted after the fact. In your case since it happened once, it will happen again, until they have what they need. The 2020 Stimulus payments are looking like an early 2020 tax rebate check, IE early refunds to the working people and people who get earning income credits. That is why you have had to file a 2018 or 2019 tax return to qualify. Many will be surprised when next March rolls around and their planned refund is 3K lighter. But, like any government program it is all subject to change as time goes on.
